Imaging Modalities
2D/BMode Imaging
7-32 Revision D.0
Controls
Primary
BMode is used for all presets except cardiac.
Colorize Optimizes contrast resolution by activating the current
colorization map and overlaying the grayscale image.
To change the active map, turn the color rotary control
just under the Colorize touch control.
Focal Strength When on, the focus is increased at the selected focal
zone or zones, producing better resolution in the area of
interest. If more that one focal zone is selected, the
focal carets are automatically positioned closer together
on the screen, indicating the increased focal intensity.
(Focal Strength is only available on linear and CLA
transducers.)
Focal Zones Selects up to four possible transmit focal zones. The
actual number of zones available is dependent on
transducer and depth. A caret appears on the screen for
each selected focal zone. As focal zones are increased,
the frame rate decreases.
Focus Repositions the acoustic depth of the 2D/BMode focal
zone, indicated by carets.
Frequency Fusion Optimizes frequencies for penetration, texture, or
resolution. Changes are reflected in the Frequency
Fusion icon.
Harmonic Fusion
(Touch Control)
Activates Harmonic Fusion for imaging tissue.
Activates Harmonics for a 2D image only. Available
only with a harmonics-ready transducer, such as the s3,
s4, s8, 11-3L, c3540, OmniPlane III, or x4.
Harmonic Fusion
(Rotary Control)
Selects the Harmonic Fusion setting when Harmonic
Fusion is on. Changes are reflected in the Harmonic
Fusion icon.
